Garishly colored, building-high illuminated billboards are a stock way to illustrate an urban dystopia, especially in cyberpunk, and depict a future where consumerism has gone mad. Cyberpunk and near-future sci fi often shows a world where it is impossible to do anything — even eat, sleep or go to the bathroom — without seeing and hearing advertisements from Mega-Corp. Characters incessantly get ads from a big chirpy computer telescreen that Soylent Soy is Crunchtastic, Brand X pillows are 20% More Awesome than your current one and unless you buy the Flushomatic 10000, there's a good chance you'll accidentally kill yourself. While corporate ads dominate in the depictions, billboards may also shill rose-colored, saccharine-cheery propaganda for a totalitarian regime. The adverts can take the form of Blipverts, Sex Sells, Enforced Plugs, The Man Is Sticking It to the Man, Subliminal Advertising, Neon City, Product Placement Name, May Contain Evil and the Ridiculously Loud Commercial. Often leads in-universe Repeating Ad, when the barrage of advertising overwhelms the population. |

Rocketship Voyager. TuV'k is trying to meditate at an ancient ruin on Mars when he's interrupted by an American robot advertising fast-food burgers, which in turn is interrupted by a Soviet robot spreading Communist propaganda. The two robots end up crushed under the ruins after knocking them down while fighting each other. | |

Plan 7 of 9 from Outer Space In "Village of the Spammed", Captain Proton drives down a highway in Southern California and is hit by advertising from airships, flying robots, holograms projected over the entire hemisphere, and a geostationary satellite needle-beaming a psycho-resonant add for Big Brother: Insomniac right into his skull. Eventually the competing advertisements are pushed aside for a single advertisement for the BORG Megacorporation. When Kincaid is piloting a Humongous Mecha in "The Old Equations", his holographic gunsight keeps getting obscured by pop-up adds. Gneelix mentions having fought in the Advertising Campaign. |

Star Trek: Picard: When the crew arrives at Freecloud in "Stardust City Rag", they are bombarded with invasive holographic ads that tailor themselves to their viewers: Rios gets an ad for starship repairs, Picard is shown one for high tea at a luxury hotel, Raffi receives one for a drug emporium, and Jurati is "attacked" by a futuristic Rock-Em-Sock-Em robot that has to be punched before it'll go away. Elnor actually seems a bit disappointed not to get one. | |

In the 2013 SimCity game and expansion pack Cities of Tomorrow, many of the futurized buildings and mega-towers are loaded to some degree with holographic signs and billboards. Some of these billboards are actually describing the building's function (Such as "Sky Bridge Terminal" or "Maglev"), while others are just of the standard commercial and industrial variety. They even have signs with a panda on it for some reason... | |

In Snow Crash, neon advertising is so inescapable that they've coined a term ("loglo") for the everpresent reddish light around a city. Its sort-of-sequel The Diamond Age is a world where microtechnology has made advertising literally ubiquitous, and one character made his fortune by realizing you could advertise on chopsticks. | |

In Minority Report, walking down the street has become a hyperstimulating nightmare, as talking holographic advertisements use retinal scans to sell directly to you. Constantly. As an added bit of fridge horror, prior to making the movie, Spielberg convened a panel of scientists and businessmen to take some educated guesses as to what the near future would look like and they came up with this. | |

The second episode of Black Mirror, "15 Million Merits" depicts a future where every wall is covered in Kinect-powered flatscreen TVs playing a nonstop stream of adverts for talent shows, gameshows and porn. They can be skipped — but doing so costs the viewer money — and while an advert is playing the door to your flat locks itself. Looking away from the TV earns loud tones and a voice demanding that you RESUME VIEWING RESUME VIEWING RESUME VIEWING. | |

The rounds introduced in the futuristic Season 4 of Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout have brand logos plastered all over the place. These brands include: BLAM Inflatables, WIG Industries, and EGG (yes, just "EGG"). The WIG Industries logo also appears at the end of Season 4's final release trailer. You can even have your Fall Guy be a walking billboard with the Ad Guy pattern, which adorns your guy with ads and logos. | |

Babylon A.D.: The protagonists fly into New York on an airliner with a Coke Zero ad painted across its entire surface. The city is a nightmare of migraine-inducing neon ads covering pretty much every surface of every larger building, interspersed with beams of powerful spotlights stabbing into the sky. | |

Downplayed trope in Transhuman Space. The cover of Toxic Memes shows a woman with various Augumented Reality "screens" hovering around her, about half of which seem to be advertising. However, the text of the books says most AR systems have pretty good adblock if you want it. | |

WALL•E: There's enormous television screens everywhere on Earth, which presumably are intended to share information with the people but generally are just covered with advertisements for Buy n Large and the Axiom space liner. On the former Buy n Large website, the company claims to have bought and licenced north. Compasses now point you towards "Buy n Large North". They call this Directional Advertising. On the Axiom itself the advertising is even more omnipresent, including such gems as telling the red-suited denizens to "try blue, it's the new red" and a brief glimpse into the ship's daycare. |

Most sophonts in the galactic community of Troy Rising have been fitted with implanted computer/communications technology. The newly-implanted (which for most species except humanity means children/adolescents) tend to rely on external A.I.s shielding them from/proxying local hypernet access until they learn how to use their implant's pop-up blockers, or risk sensory overload. | |

In the world of Shadowrun, advertising has long since moved off the physical plane and into the virtual. Unfortunately, since the vast majority of the population is wired into Augmented Reality, this means that about 90% of the world as they see it is bombarded with advertising. Companies that can afford spirit-binding magi can even send advertisements into the Astral Plane. | |

In the Lensman verse, among most sentient species it's considered slightly shameful (akin to losing a video game on Super Easy mode) to notice an advertisement. At one point Virgil Samms is in a "taxi" with a member of an alien race that has no eyes and relies instead on a sense that detects mass directly somehow. The driver is obligingly sharing this sense of perception with Samms (through Samms' Lens, which gives him a kind of telepathy), when Samms notices that there's a little nondescript mound by the side of the road that's opaque to this mass sense. He asks the driver about it, and the driver basically tells him "Oh, I didn't think you'd be interested" and focuses on it intentionally for a second, revealing that it translates to "Eat Teegmee's Food." The fact that the Rigellians ignore advertisements gives Samms hope that maybe they're more like humans than they appear to be. | |

The Murderbot Diaries In Rogue Protocol, Murderbot is startled and annoyed when a hologram activated by marker paint on the floor of a mostly abandoned space station springs up in front of it. Such paint is only supposed to be used for emergency evacuation instructions. In Exit Strategy, Murderbot tries to access the feed on TranRollinHyfa, but any useful information is obscured by the static created by competing corporation advertisements who are trying to drown out the adds of their rivals. |

Amphibia: Inverted in the case of Newtopia. "True Colors" and "The Core and the King" show that a thousand years ago, Newtopia during its era of trans-dimensional planet-looting under the Core's direction had holographic banners all over the streets; featuring newts, silhouettes resembling the king (implying propaganda), and enlistenment-esque adverts calling on citizens to support the city's efforts to invade and conquer other worlds for Newtopia's advancement. | |
